Smooth-On HYPER-FOLIC is a Release Additive that's a non-toxic, skin conditioning liquid that is mixed with Body Double silicone mold rubber prior to applying rubber to the skin.
Not only will it aid in releasing cured rubber from the skin but will also release cured rubber from hair-covered skin surfaces (closely cropped beards, moustaches, eye-brows, pubic hair, etc.)
Advantages:
Body Double with HYPER-FOLIC will still bond to itself.
Little or no release cream residue in the cured rubber means your mold is immediately ready for casting.
Used as directed, HYPER-FOLIC has minimal affect on the tear strength of Body Double, allowing for an extremely strong mold
HYPER-FOLIC does not affect the skin safety rating of Body Double™ silicone
How Does HYPER-FOLIC additive affect Body Double?
- It will lengthen the pot life and cure time of Body Double.
- It will slightly reduce the tear strength of Body Double.
- Cured Body Double rubber may shrink slightly over time vs. Body Double without the additive.
